At Prime Dumpster, we arrange delivery of roll-off containers from 10 to 40 yards across Shreveport, Louisiana and the rest of Caddo Parish. The Highland and South Highlands houses are into their second century of repairs, the mid-century brick homes out toward Ellerbe Road keep producing kitchen and bath tear-outs, and commercial construction along the Interstate 20 and Interstate 49 corridors turns out concrete, framing waste and roofing by the container.
Shreveport is one of the more precisely drafted cities we work in, and in two places that precision runs in your favor. Its code defines waste in a way that treats construction debris as its own category, and it lets that category go to a different destination from everything else. That changes what a renovation load costs here.

| Size | Average Price Range | Approximate Dimensions | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Yard Dumpster | $399–$499 | 12' L × 8' W × 3.5' H | Concrete, brick, and heavy debris; small cleanouts; single-room remodels |
| 15-Yard Dumpster | $449–$569 | 16' L × 7.5' W × 4–5' H | Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, small roof tear-offs |
| 20-Yard Dumpster | $499–$649 | 22' L × 7.5' W × 4.5' H | Whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, flooring removal, roofing |
| 30-Yard Dumpster | $599–$799 | 22' L × 8' W × 6' H | Major renovations, new residential construction, large commercial projects |
| 40-Yard Dumpster | $699–$899 | 22–24' L × 8' W × 8' H | Commercial demolition, industrial cleanouts, large-scale construction |
Size sets the opening figure and the weight of the load moves it most. Brick, mortar, broken concrete and ceramic tile all reach a container's weight allowance while the walls still look half empty, so a Shreveport chimney, patio or slab job frequently belongs in a 10-yard rather than a 20.
The second factor is where the load may go, and Shreveport writes it down. The city's code sets out a short, closed category of ordinary waste. Then it defines building materials on their own: lumber, brick, plaster, broken concrete, gutters and roofing from repairs, new building work or demolition. Ordinary waste collected under a city permit must go to the city landfill on Woolworth Road. Building materials are released from that rule and may go to any construction and demolition site the state has permitted. Those sites price differently, so a clean renovation load pays here.
Rental length is the smallest lever. A container here carries one job price, so three days and five days usually land together, and extra days are charged at the end.

Let the material pick the size, and in Shreveport let the destination pick it too.
The 10-Yard Dumpster carries the heavy material in Louisiana. A clean load of brick, block, broken concrete or tile reaches its weight ceiling long before it fills, and it fits one bay of a driveway without blocking the garage.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage clear-down, one bathroom, a small roof or a porch removal.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size Shreveport homes book most often. Whole-house cleanouts, flooring removal, kitchen work and multi-room renovations all fit inside it, and the walls stay low enough to load by hand.
The 30-Yard Dumpster answers new construction, a large addition or a serious demolition, the jobs where volume beats tonnage to the limit.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the commercial container, for demolition, industrial clearing and large builds. It is the largest size offered and it wants a straight approach, a level drop point and clear height.
A container on private property, in a driveway or inside a job-site boundary, needs no city placement permit in Shreveport. There is no day limit on a private-property container either, and no application for you to make.
A container in the street is completely different here, and the rule is unusually strict. Shreveport prohibits a private collector from placing containers on city streets, alleys, easements or other rights-of-way at all, unless the director of public works gives specific written permission on written request. Where that permission is given for a construction, renovation or similar project, it runs for up to 30 calendar days, with extensions of 30 days available on request but no more than two such extensions in any rolling twelve-month period. The city will grant it only where no other reasonable alternative exists and where no safety hazard results.
That is a necessity test rather than a fee. The city is not selling street space here, it is rationing it, and the twelve-month cap runs against the address and not the project. Your account manager makes the request where a site has no off-street option, and will say plainly if a driveway or yard placement is the better answer.
On the collection side, the city runs a permit of its own. Anyone collecting the city's defined category of waste as a paid service, or hauling any waste at all to a city-owned disposal facility, needs it. Each vehicle needs one too, with the decal on the windshield, and it runs for twelve months. Note the two triggers. One is about the material. The other is about the destination, so a construction load becomes permit business the moment it goes to the city landfill instead of a state-permitted construction and demolition site. All of that is ours to hold, not yours.
Two other rules are worth knowing before you book. The city will not collect from a commercial site of any real size: its own service stops at premises producing what fits in two 96-gallon carts, and the code tells larger commercial establishments in terms to make their own lawful arrangements. And dumpster-loading vehicles may not operate between 9 at night and 6 in the morning within 150 feet of a dwelling in a residential district. If a complaint is made, the planning director measures that distance, which makes it a real constraint on a commercial site backing onto housing rather than a nominal one.
Everyday construction, demolition and household debris is fine in a Shreveport container. The firm exclusions come from state rules and from the receiving site.
Hazardous material is out of any container, and Shreveport's code defines it broadly: poisons, acids, liquid grease, caustics, explosives, chemicals, corrosives, flammables, radioactive material, and anything that would build sudden pressure through decomposition or heat. Household hazardous waste collected separately has its own permitted destination.
A standard container will not take asbestos. Shreveport's prewar housing stock and its older commercial buildings both turn up pipe lagging, resilient floor tile and textured ceiling coating, and a suspect material needs testing before anything is loaded.
Medical waste, industrial waste and anything classed as asbestos, hazardous or toxic each require separate handling and a waste characterization on our side. Declare them when you book and the cost and the route are settled in advance.
Liquids are out, and loads have to be confined. The city applies a surcharge of one and a half times the normal disposal charge to a load that arrives at its facility unconfined, so covering is not optional. The trucks run covered as standard.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Shreveport is one of the clearer cities in this program on destinations, and one where we have to be careful about what we put on a card.
The city owns a landfill on Woolworth Road and names it in its own code as the destination for ordinary waste collected under a city permit. It publishes disposal charges by the ton with a minimum charge whatever the load weighs, a small per-load addition for account customers, and a separate scale for special waste. It recites the state solid waste permit number for the site, runs it on posted rules with a 25 mile per hour limit, bars scavenging without the mayor's written approval, and keeps anyone under 13 inside a vehicle in the active tipping area. Parish residents are exempt from its disposal charges.
We publish no street address, hours or phone number for it, and the reason is in the city's own text. The operating section speaks of the city and its contractors in the operation of the solid waste disposal facility, and names no operator. A facility earns a listed contact from us only when the authority behind it says who runs it. Owned by the city and run under contract does not meet that test, so the landfill is named in words and nothing more.
The better news is the alternative route. Building materials are expressly released from the city's flow-control requirement and may go to any construction and demolition facility the state has permitted. Separately collected recyclables bound for resource recovery, oversized tree limbs headed for a permitted wood waste site, and separately collected household hazardous waste are all released on the same pattern. So a clean renovation load, a clean concrete load and a clean wood load each have their own destination in this market, and each prices differently. Your account manager picks the route for your load when you book and tells you what the difference is worth on your job.
Most Shreveport containers can be scheduled within one to two business days when the placement is on private property. A street placement is the exception and needs real lead time, because written permission has to be sought and the city applies a necessity test to it.
What makes the booking go quickly:
A Gulf South weather note. Keep a part-filled container covered between shifts. A Shreveport thunderstorm puts real water weight into drywall and insulation overnight, and loads have to arrive confined in any case.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
On the standard five-day period, expect $399 to $499 for a 10-yard and $699 to $899 for a 40-yard. Disposal is charged by weight on top, and the rate depends on whether the load goes to the city landfill or to a construction and demolition facility. Your account manager confirms both when you book.
Past one pickup load, renting wins in Shreveport. The city charges a minimum fee whatever a load weighs, adds a surcharge of one and a half times the normal charge for an unconfined load, and will not collect commercial waste beyond two carts. A container handles all three problems at once.
Yes, with space to spare. One three-seat couch comes to about a fifth of a 10-yard, which leaves space for a bed frame, a dresser and boxed goods. Bulky household items run out of room long before they approach a weight limit, so a 10-yard usually suits a furniture clear-down.
Poisons, acids, caustics, explosives, corrosives, flammables, radioactive material and liquid grease all stay out, along with liquids generally. Asbestos-bearing material cannot go in a standard container at all. Medical and industrial waste need separate handling and a characterization before collection.
The 10-yard carries the lowest base price at $399 to $499, and on a Shreveport job with brick or broken concrete in it the 10-yard is often the right container anyway. Keeping building material in its own load also opens the cheaper destination, which compounds the saving.
Three days and five days land on the same figure in Shreveport, because the job sets the price and the calendar does not. Weight and destination are what move a Shreveport bill. Have your account manager confirm the tonnage allowance and the receiving site before the container is delivered.
Lumber, drywall, roofing felt and shingles, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, doors, windows, furniture, cardboard, brick, block and clean concrete all go in. Clean concrete and clean untreated wood are worth keeping as separate loads in this market. Clear any borderline material with your account manager ahead of loading.
